Akasora makes a considerable leap through the stars and winds up at the strange world of Bole, a scan revealing...

BOLE is so radioactive that every object native to the planet visibly glows. The beautiful glow of Bole was seen as a sign of divine providence to its first settlers, a theocratic society known as the Hakuraku, who see themselves as wise judges of merit. Native to the planet are the Tianma, a species of winged equines that greatly esteemed by the Hakuraku as heavenly emissaries. Lest they be overwhelmed by the "holy radiation" of their home, each Bolean must wear an expensive piece of jewelry called a "wudi". The wudi's circuitry, itself powered by radioactivity, manages to repel Bole's natural radiation in such a way that the wearer is instead surrounded by darkness. It is only removed for special ceremonies when the pure light of Bole is fully embraced.

Akasora sees only one way to capture its ki:

Radiant divine,
Wing'ed equines grace the skies,
Wudi shields the glow.

Unable to reach the Støver sector, Willy Minmax instead opts for a short trip to the capital of the Lullingstone sector.  There he arranges to record views of its natural wonders and breathtaking constructions.  The planet's cascades, caverns, and castles will surely fetch a reasonable price in less beautiful corners of the galaxy.  The elite Lullingstoners also pay to have their own images recorded, but Willy is less optimistic that others will want to admire their ostentatious coiffures.  Who knows, though?  Maybe the images will find favor as a source of comedy.
